I wonder if year four will be the chance I get to sit in and play? Sadly, Luke is a task master so it never works out that way. Besides, if I did take a seat, one less person would have the honor to be in your game.
I missed getting in on one of the Mentzer-ran games this year due to being away from home the first few hours of gaming registration. I have sworn a blood oath to myself THAT will not happen next year. :twisted: Perhaps I will be able to take a seat as a secondary, but I doubt folks will want to bail on one of these games unless they were suffering from brain damage. hah hah. Regardless, I am very excited to be able to at least meet and thank one of the early inspirations and influences of my 27+ year career as a Dungeon Master. I'll see you Thursday afternoon. :mrgreen: ~Hoyt.
Well, what better way to kick off GaryCon IV than Death in Wretched Swamp But if I'm outvoted, I won't worry about it: all the choices sound great to me.
